There is a strong argument that super-intelligence is already in the rear-view mirror. My computer is better than me at almost everything at this point; creativity, communication, scientific knowledge, numerical processing, etc. There is a tiny sliver of things that I've spent a life working on where I can consistently outperform a CPU, but it is not at all clear how that could be defensible given the strides AI has made over the last few decades. The typical AI seems more capable than the typical human to me. If that isn't super-intelligence then whatever super-intelligence is can't be far away.
You forget energy efficiency friend. We are FAR more efficient...
I don't understand that. Can you expand on it?
When does the AI or the programmer need to do math calculations?
